Jesus Visions

Memorial Film vs. Memorial Prayer (What Fits Which Family)

Jesus looks toward you with compassion just after sunset, a small oil lamp burning beside him.

Both of these are made for the same day - the days a family is missing someone. The difference is how much of a film they can hold, on that day.

The short answer

  • A Memorial Film for Them - a short remembrance film, drawn from the details you send us. Plays at a service, at a graveside, at a table.
  • A Memorial Prayer for Them - Jesus's voice praying by name, no pictures, no music. Shorter, quieter, easier to reach for on a hard day.

When to pick a memorial film

  • The family wants a keepsake to play at the service or on the anniversary.
  • You are working further out from the loss and have time to send us the details.
  • The family will watch it together.
  • You want a physical thing (a downloadable film) that will still be on their phone in three years.

When to pick a memorial prayer

  • The family is early in grief and cannot yet make decisions about a film.
  • You want to send something in the first few days without asking them for anything.
  • The setting is a graveside or a home visit, and pictures are too much.
  • You want to be able to play it in the car on the anniversary drive.

What both include

  • Their person's name.
  • The voice from our series.
  • Free remake if the name isn't said the way you say it.
